"These old bridges were a thom in my side for years," Parsorr said. He said one reason that they had not been replaced sooner was due to the fact that few serious accidents occurred as a result of them.

The cow had been shot In the leg and then through the shoul der. Wilkinson said he believed that the person responsible had first hit the cow in the leg and then killed it with the second shot to put it out of its misery. Wilkinson, who has not posted his property, had asked hunters to respect locked gates at places where he was attempting to con trol spread of weed seeds. He did not seek to stop hunters from walking in. However, some hunt ers shot off a lock and cut fences to enter with their vehicles.

"We will continue untii we get the road as safe as we can get it," he added, pointing out that work has been concentrated on highways in his division where there have been the most accidents.

He added that costruction on the planning board of highways considered critical around the state amounts to some $130,000, 000. . "We can't take on new high ways until these needs are taken care of."

He said that the next unit of the road is programmed but funds have not yet been allo cated. "It will come up as funds are available," he said. Parson suggested that those interested here "lay the Spray road at the Highway Commis sion's door" because the com mission, in turn, can urge the Bureau to make the improve ment. A letter from Mayor Edward Tilley of Spray was read at the meeting. It urged help in press ing for improvement of the road, and the chamber's development committee is now working on the matter.
